Nick Bonino to have contract terminated

Nick Bonino is on unconditional waivers today with the intent of having his contract with the New York Rangers terminated.

Bonino was given some time to consider his options after clearing waivers and being demoted to the AHL last week.

Darren Dreger reports that teams have been kicking the tires on Bonino. It’s curious why any team with interest in Bonino wouldn’t have claimed him off waivers at his current contract of $800,000.
